I thought it was going to end depressingly and therefore make me dislike it, but the ending was beautiful and relieving. I also wasn't expecting such a strong Christian perspective throughout the book, and I enjoyed that. Jane was ever one of my favorites, and although at times I did not like Mr. Rochester, I came to love him by the end. St. John, on the other hand, I never did like. Someone read this book so we can discuss the wonderfully varied cast of characters.

Esta obra é um clássico gótico, isso está claro na atmosfera da narrativa. Gosto bastante de histórias góticas e Jane Eyre não me decepcionou. A escrita de Charlotte Brontë é excelente e no Audiobook que escutei a atriz Thandie Newton conferiu uma ótima interpretação do texto da autora. O enredo em alguns momentos me deu a impressão de dispersar, mas isso é compreensível pois o foco da obra é aprofundar a personagem Jane Eyre à medida que a mesma se depara com uma diversidade de obstáculos pessoais. Em alguns momentos houveram soluções convenientes para os problemas de Jane, mas isto não me impediu de gostar da história. O livro tem um clima de mistério, especialmente no que diz respeito a esposa escondida, mas infelizmente já tinha recebido o spoiler. Imagino que teria sido ainda mais intrigante ler sem saber antes da existência de Bertha. A narrativa é lógica, porém, como havia mencionado, em alguns momentos soluções por demais convenientes desafiaram um pouco essa lógica. Gostei de Jane Eyre, tanto da obra quanto da personagem, contudo, uma ressalva que faço, deixando claro que é uma questão de preferência pessoal e não um defeito do livro, é que teria preferido que Jane tivesse recusado a oferta de St. John de forma mais assertiva. Ele havia se mostrado um pouco manipulador e eu gostaria que o “Não” de Jane viesse dela mesma e não tivesse sido uma consequência da descoberta de que Rochester havia se tornado viúvo e debilitado e necessitava da ajuda da protagonista.
